Mildly Intellectual, Mostly Nonsense

Double Digits & Questions We’re Not Qualified to Answer

We hit double digits. In Episode 10, we celebrate with life updates, a new rose-thorn-bud segment, and some hosting stress. We discuss recent scientific progress around genetics and Down syndrome, ethics in science, and where progress meets uncomfortable questions. Still mildly intellectual. Still mostly nonsense. 🎉

Just Nonsense (feat. Summer House Reunion Drama)

Some life updates, then Tess breaks down the Summer House Season 10 reunion. Very unserious. Just nonsense.

Never Have I Ever: Women in STEM Edition

This week we sat down for a round of Never Have I Ever - STEM edition. From rewriting perfectly reasonable emails to sound 'less intense,' to getting interrupted mid-explanation and just... letting it happen. Fingers are going down. We discuss spontaneous piercings, pilates classes, and the small things that actually make life good. This is Mildly Intellectual, Mostly Nonsense.

Cringe, Burnout, and Other Shower Thoughts

In this episode, we talk about life updates, weddings, tattoos, cats, and absolutely no outline. Somewhere between Martha Stewart lore and Coachella discourse, we end up talking about burnout, balance, and why everyone is so tired all the time. This is Mildly Intellectual, Mostly Nonsense.

Artemis II Was Just the Beginning

In this episode we start with Artemis II and what it might feel like to see Earth from space, before drifting into paint and sip nights, 3 a.m. chicken tenders, and mild existential crises about academia. From there, things spiral into research life, causality skepticism, ChatGPT and LinkedIn cringe. A little science, a lot of nonsense.
